I just read an interview with Joseph Fiennes, who plays the Roman officer Pilate sends to investigate Jesus' mysterious disappearance from the tomb and it sounds somewhat intriguing, even to this non-Christian.
Hollywood's recent productions (Moses, Noah) have not been accurate representations. Likely will wait till it comes out on video.

Thanks to those who chimed in. I got the sense when I read the interview with Fiennes that the film would meet with general approval from Christians.

Be one of those movies I get excited to see and then you find out it's anti-Semitic like the Passion. I can't hardly ever watch anything biblical cause I will sit there and judge it, lol.

This movie is being touted as the closest account to actual events ever made. And yet the story of a Roman officer being sent to investigate the disappearance of the body of Jesus is pure fiction through and through. Pilate didn't need to investigate the the whereabouts of the body of Jesus. He knew perfectly well that he had turned the body over to the followers of Jesus on Friday.

Went to see it. It was OK. Of course the whole story was made-up, even thought it revolved around the Biblical resurrection.

I was distracted by Jesus being Pablo Escobar from movie "The Blow".

Understandable. Demanding the crucifixion of Jesus was NOT the Jews finest hour.

It didn't matter what he "knew" he still had the political problem of satisfying the Sanhedrin so that the coming arrival of the Emperor would run smothly
